Doesn’t compare. I’m sorry. Thats the reality.

[i]UGA seems stronger than you think. UGA OOS admitted 25% last year. Overall UGA stats were 1370-1500, 4.13-4.38.

50% selectivity for in-State applicants is very high.

Half of in-state kids didn’t get in, ouch.

The national average admissions rate for public universities is 78%.

How does Maryland fit into this ??

Yes. It is selective. UVA is far below 50 percent IN STATE.

UVA last year was 25.5% IS and 13% OOS. Interestingly 2/3 of applications come from OOS.

Let's just not let facts get in the way of a good story.

Quite true. UGA OOS from Virginia is much easier than UVA in state. UGA (and Clemson) are used as backups for the students that do not get into UVA and in many cases also do not get in to WM or VT. Scoir data from three high schools shows the difference. The CDS from the schools themselves show the students overlap but are from statistically significant different tiers of academic ranges

What is the UGA OOS acceptance rate?

Keep in mind, UGA has early admission 1 for GA in-state students only and aims for 80% in-state enrollment.

You mean UGA prioritizes Georgia residents?

The question people should be considering is not relative competitiveness of the admit, but whether attending the school offers a better education or more opportunities.

+1 UVA and UGA both could lead to opportunities.

But UVA (the subject of this thread) is only 13% OOS and 25% in-state. Considering also that the Va students self-select greatly due to SCHEV and the guidance of public high school counselors, UVA is clearly more selective than UGA
